1 The food that you eat travels from your mouth, down your esophagus, into your stomach, and
through your small and large intestines before your body rids itself of solid waste. As the food
passes through your body, it is digested, and you get important nutrients from the food. Which of

perform a specific function?
A an organism
B a tissue
C an organ system
D an organ
2 Living things are made up of cells. Cells are organized at different levels to form very complex living
organisms like your body. Each level has a specific role or job to perform. Which of the following

closed jar
open jar
open jar after a
few days
Ashley repeated Francisco Redi’s experiment for a spontaneous generation project. She placed meat in
two identical jars. She placed a stopper in the top of one jar and left the other uncovered. After a few
days, Ashley observed young flies (maggots) on the meat in the open jar. There were no flies in the
sealed jar.
25 What hypothesis was Ashley trying to test?
A Decaying meat produces maggots
B Maggots prefer one type of meat over another.
C Maggots need a certain temperature to appear.
D Plastic wrap keeps meat from spoiling.
